It seems that my tendency to keep everything of family importance comes to me naturally… I found the March 1, 1973, issue of the Darlington News and Press as I was going through some things found in my parents’ attic, and on the front page was an interesting article written by my late uncle, John Lawrence Frierson, Jr. (Jack).  He gives some history of the current Darlington County Courthouse and its predecessors, going back to the original one built circa 1791 on the same site.   His story of how that courthouse was sited in 1785 by two of my great-great-great-great grandfathers (Elias DuBose and Lemuel Benton) is one that I’ve never heard before and I thought would be an interesting one to post!  Click on each of the two images to enlarge them so you can read the article…
